We recently posted about a stunning omission at the Guardian, an entry at their data blog which in effect erased the plight of hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees in the latter half of the 20th century from the pages of history. The July 25th report, edited by Mona Chalabi, was titled ‘What happened to history’s refugees?‘, and included, in a supposedly complete list of history’s refugees, the following events: Israelites: Canaan (740 BC), Edict of Fontainebleau (France 1685), Muhacirs (Ottoman Empire 1783), Pogroms (Russia 1881), WWI (Europe 1914), WWII (Europe 1945), and the Nakba (Palestine 1948).
It then skipped right over the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab lands and listed, as the next refugees crisis in the 20th century, Idi Amin’s Order (Uganda 1972) – Amin’s expulsion of more than 50,000 Asians from the country.
The Guardian data blog completely omitted the expulsion of more than 800,000 Jews from Middle Eastern and North African countries between 1948 and 1972, an undisputed event in which Arab leaders (beginning in 1948) conspired to target the Jewish populations in their respective countries. This antisemitic persecution included confiscating Jewish property and assets, and stripping Jews of their citizenship – forcing them to flee their homes and surrender their nationalities. Whereas in 1948 there were 850,000 Jews in Arab states, today there are less than 7,000.
This Arab collective punishment against innocent Jews was initiated of course to exact revenge for the ‘sin’ of the Jewish state’s rebirth.
Additionally, Harriet Sherwood published a report at The Observer (sister publication of the Guardian) on Saturday which again erased the Arab expulsion of Jews in the period after Israel’s birth. The piece is titled ‘The new Jerusalem‘, July 27, and focuses on “the problem” of Jews who are (legally)

It’s pretty clear that these people are not anti-Israel - they’re both pro-Arab *and* anti-semitic. It’s kind of weird that of all the causes in the world, they choose the sleaziest and most bloodthirsty one - the Palestinian scumbags who have dragged the West into the imbroglio by targeting Western civilians. Heck, maybe they’re not even pro-Arab and anti-Jewish. Maybe they see the Pallies as the scourge of the West, sent by Marx to punish less enlightened Westerners for our unwillingness to embrace His Communist Manifesto.
They left out quite a lot - such as the Edict of Expulsion of Jews from England in 1290 and the Edict of Expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492.
When a European monarch got into trouble in the popularity department, a solution would be to issue an Edict of Expulsion of the Jews.
Why do so many different cultures, peoples and civilizations have such active hatred for Jews? Of course if every Jew were a Specter, Weiner, Spitzer or Gilner it might be understandable.

Alternatively, he'd borrow lots of money from Jews and then expel them to avoid paying it back.
No surprise here.
The nations of the earth have always resented the Heavenly nation.
I certainly like the way the heavenly nation manages its borders and exports its illegal alien invaders!
